Your pets temporary companion!
Pet care experience
New to Austin, but not new to Rover. I am timely, efficient, and great with schedules. This stems from my prior military service. My love of all things furry and slobbery comes from growing up surrounded by animals, mostly dogs. I just like providing fur mom's and dad's an honest and reliable service. My work schedule allows me some free time that not all pet owners have, and I love being able to lend my support to pet owners as a temporary stand in companion while you're at work or away for a trip. All animals big or small, hairy, hairless, feathers, scales I do it all. I have canine and feline experience, some equestrian, as well as some aquatic and even the exotic.
Reviews
Mara does a fine job with my big dogs. Coming home to no drama and sending pics along the way is such a lovely thing. Thanks!!
Thanks Mara for being available For the last minute request.
Mara was great! My three large (+100 lbs) dogs aren’t used to being left alone but settled in really well with Mara coming by. Will definitely do this again! This was my first River experience and it was A-1 service and so easy to set up. Thanks Mara!!
Mara provided wonderful care to my cat, fish, and plants through my vacation during the hottest time of year. I appreciated the daily photo/text updates and extra care/time spent at my home. Thank you very much, Mara! You made my 1st experience using Rover a success, and I would gladly book again with you.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always double check all locks, doors, gates, crates, and I usually do a safety head count/check before leaving. I do last minute bathroom breaks and water checks when needed before leaving any homes. Your home is a safe space for your animal and I try and keep to whatever schedule or routine is normal for each specific pet behavior.
Information Mara F. would like to know about your pet
Any and all medications details, if they can have treats. What animal feeding schedule is like, as well as special dietary needs. Are they aloud on furniture, can they sleep in the bed? Are they notorious for chewing and or trouble and need a closer eye? Where are cleaning supplies located, in case of accidents. If on long trip, I will take out trash bins and water plants if needed.
A typical day
If your dog likes outside walks we will do a lap around the neighborhood. If they like fetch or tug-a-war I'm game. If your animal likes the nature channel I will make sure to leave TV on before I leave. If they like naps and laps, mine is available for cuddles(all sizes!).

Availability
As a server I have most mornings and afternoons off and I am able to change and trade shifts as well. This gives me some wiggle room for animal care.
